XIfEvent(3X11)		XLIB FUNCTIONS	   XIfEvent(3X11)

NAME
       XIfEvent, XCheckIfEvent, XPeekIfEvent - check the event
       queue with a predicate procedure

SYNTAX
       XIfEvent(display, event_return, predicate, arg)
	     Display *display;
	     XEvent *event_return;
	     Bool (*predicate)();
	     XPointer arg;

       Bool XCheckIfEvent(display, event_return, predicate, arg)
	     Display *display;
	     XEvent *event_return;
	     Bool (*predicate)();
	     XPointer arg;

       XPeekIfEvent(display, event_return, predicate, arg)
	     Display *display;
	     XEvent *event_return;
	     Bool (*predicate)();
	     XPointer arg;

ARGUMENTS
       arg	Specifies the user-supplied argument that will
		 be passed to the predicate procedure.

       display	Specifies the connection to the X server.

       event_return
		 Returns either a copy of or  the matched event's
		 associated structure.

       predicate Specifies the procedure that is to be called to
		 determine if the next event in the queue matches
		 what you want.

DESCRIPTION
       The XIfEvent function completes only when the specified
       predicate procedure returns True for an event, which indi-
       cates an event in the queue matches.  XIfEvent flushes the
       output buffer if it blocks waiting for additional events.
       XIfEvent removes the matching event from the queue and
       copies the structure into the client-supplied XEvent
       structure.

       When the predicate procedure finds a match, XCheckIfEvent
       copies the matched event into the client-supplied XEvent
       structure and returns True.  (This event is removed from
       the queue.)  If the predicate procedure finds no match,
       XCheckIfEvent returns False, and the output buffer will
       have been flushed.  All earlier events stored in the queue
       are not discarded.

XIfEvent(3X11)		XLIB FUNCTIONS	   XIfEvent(3X11)

       The XPeekIfEvent function returns only when the specified
       predicate procedure returns True for an event.  After the
       predicate procedure finds a match, XPeekIfEvent copies the
       matched event into the client-supplied XEvent structure
       without removing the event from the queue.  XPeekIfEvent
       flushes the output buffer if it blocks waiting for addi-
       tional events.
